No gestures for iPad 1 in iOS 5? Apple, are you kidding us?!

Gestures are now available in ios 5.0.1!!!

What about the Mirroring ? did you loose this feature after upgrating to 5.0.1

I want both features, multigestures and Mirroring which you get with the Cydia Workaround.

Mirroring was always an iPad 2-specific (or A5 processor) feature. Happened when the iPad 2 came out. The only change to mirroring for iOS 5.0 was that they added the ability to do it wirelessly to things like Apple TV2 instead of plugging it right to the TV. So that feature, on iPad 1, was always only available via hack, but with a lot of reduced performance. To a degree iPad 2 just gets by with the wireless mirroring aspect as it does require a much better degree of graphics performance to do well without slowing down operations. Something the iPad 2 realistically has over iPad 1. So I doubt they'd officially put it in due to questionable operation speeds when using an A4 to do it, not to mention, it wasn't a feature that officially was beta'd to work with folks talking about its working features on IPad 1, like gestures.

Well, I was quick to turn on them, so I guess I should be as quick to thank them for listening, even though we have no idea if they did so or just fixed a robes they already knew about. Either way I'm very glad to have gestures back, now I can stop making a particular one in Apples direction. I had much bigger robes though, iCloud was making all my apps crash, all the time, that too appears to be fixed (so far).

So thanks guys, and thank you to my fellow complainants for their persistence, go check out your local 'occupy' movement, we need persistent folks like you guys!

Now, if only Lion 10.7.2 didn't kill my iMac! Oh well, one battle at a time!

Does anybody else feel like they've won a little battle to get back the MTG's?!

Glad to be supporting a company that listens to its consumers.

No.

Oh well i have upgraded to 5.0.1 but my ipad1 still does not support gestures. Is there something i am missing? I tried restarting but it did not help. Any idea?

You have to turn them on. They are off by default since it is a new function that requires people to learn them. Go into the General Options and you'll see a new section to turn on/off Multitasking Gestures.

Did you check to see that they are turned on?

Settings > General > Multitasking Gestures

You might have to scroll down to see the Multitasking section.

Well i should have seen that, thank you...

Are you guys serious?

Have gone into settings and turned multi gestures on?

I just updated my iPad 1 and it works great

If you had read the thread, you would have seen that originally this could not be done in iOS5 on the original iPad. That ability was added after the OP posted the question. so yes, the guys were serious.

Bit late to the party Scooter, you didn't even have to read the whole thread, the date of the first post should've given you a clue, plus it says just a little higher on this page that Apl fixed the problem (and not because consumers complained... Because ENOUGH consumers complained.) Add to that the fact that someone proposed your solution just a tad higher and you really start to look a bit of a condescending clever-pants. I know its a pain to go through 16 pages of drivel, but do at least read the opening thread -and its date- won't you?

Have a simply spiffy day!

KInd of like the date on PogoPossum's post two weeks ago could have given you a clue? 😉

Thank you, Meg. 😁
